Zimbabwean strongman Robert Mugabe has been finally and officially stripped of his knighthood by staggeringly lenient Dungeon Master Queen Elizabeth II. This makes Mugabe officially a fighter, which is probably the class he should have been all along. But before…
Department of Awesome Posters

George Carlin Passes Away
